Short-handed NU routs Robert Morris in exhibition

Wildcats hit 11 of 15 3-pointers

Drew Crawford and Alex Marcotullio sat this one out with sprained ankles. JerShon Cobb, working his way back from hip surgery in April, also watched from the bench.

But there was nothing wrong with John Shurna, freshmen guards Dave Sobolewski and Tre Demps and the rest of Northwestern's able-bodied players. The Wildcats put on an impressive show in a Monday night exhibition, taking down NAIA foe Robert Morris 99-48 by shooting 11-for-15 from 3-point range.

The 6-foot-2 Demps, playing with a protective sleeve on his left shoulder, fed Shurna early for a back-door layup and drilled a 3-pointer to give the Wildcats a 40-18 lead.

Sobolewski, a solidly built 6-foot-1, scored 15 points and earned nine trips to the foul line. With the shot clock winding down in the first half, he showed poise by penetrating, pulling up and swishing a high-arcing 8-footer.
